Electronic Devices and Circuits (Merrill's International Series in Engineering Technology)

This manual uses a structured, systems approach in a comprehensive coverage of electronic devices and circuits. It presents concepts such as gain, frequency response, multi-stage amplification, feedback and oscillation, and integrated circuit theory, field-effect devices and their applications in large-scale integration, and the theory of operational amplifiers are covered extensively. Also included are many important applications of those versatile devices, optoelectronics, switching regulators, and class-D amplifiers. The book contains extensive coverage of SPICE, including examples and exercises in every chapter to show its application to every aspect of devices and circuit theory.
